Mr.

In
connection with the Employment Agreement, Mr. Granville signed an
agreement regarding confidential information and non-competition
(the
“Non-Competition Agreement”) whereby Mr. Granville and the Company agree,
for a period of two years after the termination of Mr. Granville’s
employment with the Company, that:
|
o
|
Mr.
Granville will not render services to Conflicting Organizations (as
defined therein) or with respect to Conflicting Products (as defined
therein) without written assurances to the Company that such services
will
not be rendered in connection with any Conflicting
Product;
|
o
|
If,
within one month after the termination of Mr. Granville’s employment with
the Company, he is unable to find employment due solely to the
Non-Competition Agreement, the provisions of the Non-Competition
Agreement
will continue in effect so long as the Company continues to pay Mr.
Granville an amount equal to his base pay at the time of his termination
(the “Termination Payments”). The Termination Payments will continue for a
period of 23 months or until the Company gives Mr. Granville written
permission to accept conflicting employment or a written waiver of
the
provisions of the Non-Competition Agreement; and
|
o
|
If,
after the termination of Mr. Granville’s employment with the Company, he
accepts other employment but due solely to the Non-Competition Agreement
his gross monthly income in such other employment is less than his
base
pay at termination, the Company will pay Mr. Granville the difference
between his base pay at termination and his gross monthly income
in such
other employment.
